The advancement in Omega-class Aoneng development gave Li Aoz greater confidence to get involved in the affairs of the Grant Duchy.

In fact, even if the Sky Ring forces did not intervene, the Grant Duchy would have already begun to declare independence before Dai Weilin came to power. One of the Main Quest for players in the Frostplate District is to suppress the uprising of the Grantian.

Unless it involves matters of principle, no one wants to always be at a disadvantage, and Li Aoz is no exception. In his opinion, since he can get Sky Ring's money for free, why not?

Li Aoz's cooperation also benefited Triangle Town. The Auckland Family's minerals began to be exported to Sky Ring at lower tariffs, causing the lord to look at Li Aoz more and more like a lucky cat.

During this time, Li Aoz took a break to check the international news: After preparing the evidence, Sky Ring immediately launched a full-scale attack on Frostplate at the GTB summit, exposing all the inhumane scandals of Nethermark Humanity, continuing the heat that Li Aoz had previously stirred up, and launching a round of verbal attacks against Frostplate around the world.

Frostplate's businesses in other countries were also marginalized, and private capital and Frostplate's students abroad were ridiculed and discriminated against. Coupled with the accumulated domestic conflicts, Frostplate's then-President Medvi Ostavia's approval rating plummeted to 56%. The enraged His Excellency the President ordered the Law Enforcement Division Three Agency to operate at full capacity and began to sabotage and infiltrate Sky Ring's Colonies, which in turn fueled Heavenly Ring People's hatred towards Frostplate.

Seeing this opportunity, the Red Arrow Empire directly announced that the Red Reserve would start raising interest rates, causing the currencies of Frostplate and Sky Ring to depreciate, which only added fuel to the fire.

Red Arrow Empire's temporary interest rate hike was not intended to cool down the market. A large amount of Red Arrow currency flowed back through GTB, causing many Frostplate companies to lose financing overnight. The inflation rate rose rapidly, and the Frostplate market began to go berserk.

As for Sky Ring, Sky Ring currency had already depreciated considerably, and the fighting spirit among the people was high.

It's obvious to anyone with eyes that Sky Ring has long coveted Frostplate, and war is imminent.

For Li Aoz, neither Sky Ring Frostplate the other was a good person. One was a war-mongering maniac, and the other was a pedantic and inhuman beast. Let them fight like dogs. He had already made the greatest profit.

He had foreseen the tense situation long ago, and the devaluation of the Heavenly Ring Currency was a historical trend. He had already exchanged it for a large amount of supplies and started closed-door experiments.

Research data obtained from the Nethermark Humanity, combined with the hydroponic cultivation technology of the Biochemical Pool, rapidly matured, harvested, and refined a large number of Malefic Calamity Crystal Plants.

Li Aoz knew very well that the so-called Malefic Calamity was not a virus. The professor's theory had chosen the wrong direction from the beginning. No matter how much she increased its application, she could not understand the nature of Malefic Calamity. Perhaps, it was not that she did not understand, but as a pure materialist, she refused to believe this fact.

However, Li Aoz also understood why the professor refused to believe the truth about Malefic Calamity.

The Malefic Calamity is not a virus, but a piece of information.

Information from Entropy.

The crimson and black Malefic Calamity clouds that filled the sky were not real clouds, but rather the constantly active thoughts of Entropy Lord, with high-speed pulses of information enveloping the entire Azure Planet.

Occasionally, some people receive information from Entropy Lord, causing their Gene Fragments to be shattered and replaced, thus adapting to Entropy Lord's ancient and mysterious memories and forming Aoneng.

Just as an artist sometimes has a flash of inspiration, combining fragments of past memories with their own inspiration to create a magnificent masterpiece of art.

But this is not enough to be called a mutation, because these Gene Fragments are not their own, but given by entropy.

A professor who has dedicated his life to studying Esha Virus theory could never accept such a fact, right?

Aoneng is known as the ultimate power. Theoretically speaking, as long as it is not Alpha-class Aoneng that is so weak that it has no potential, any Aoneng has infinite possibilities due to the countless combinations and mutations of genes.

Entropy's thoughts generate red and black clouds that humans call Malefic Calamity. These overwhelming Malefic Calamity shroud the sun, further providing energy for the sleeping Entropy to think. Only a small portion of this energy falls into the human body, either turning it into a deformed monster or perfectly matching it, manifesting as Aoneng power.

A true "Mutant" must unleash their unlimited potential through their own genetic Core Aura, rather than relying on the charity of others.

Li Aoz is the only true Aoneng master on this planet who fits the definition of a "Mutant". His genetic potential has been fully unleashed, and all extraordinary genes can be integrated into his body. As for what happens to the Telomere with such a huge genetic burden, let's not talk about that for now. Just tell me whether they have been integrated or not.

The Aura Awakening Potion he was creating was a true mutation-inducing potion, prepared for himself and the players.

"It's time to show the Azure Planet People what a real [Mutant] is."

Because his [Craftsman] and [Biochemist] ranks were average and he didn't have much knowledge or skills, Li Aoz relied on the weightless environment of the Aoneng to achieve precise raw material ratios. He failed thousands of times, and only through continuous ratios and exploration was he able to fix the properties that induce mutations.

In this way, the potions he creates will not only simply grant ordinary people Aoneng, but will truly trigger the release of their own genetic potential, allowing them to obtain Aoneng that truly belongs to them.

Li Aoz breathed a sigh of relief, having finally completed his self-developed potion a week before the players' arrival.

Although the success rate and scrap rate are quite low, it is barely enough to reach the level of mass production.

"Looks like I still need to acquire some skills and knowledge as a [Biochemist]. It's time to have Old Dimitri bring his family over to take over my business."

Next, he simply deployed the Biochemical Pool in Triangle Town, set up automated production, and began to expand mass production capacity.

With a week left before the players arrive, Li Aoz calculated that this should be enough time for him to complete the mission.

Li Aoz contacted Director Liu Deming and said that he was ready to go to the Grant Duchy.

While waiting for the other party to send a private Private Plane to pick him up, Li Aoz took out three top-of-the-line [Mutation Inducing Agent] from the freezer.

[Name]: DM-101 Mutation Inducing Agent [Category]: Consumables/Agents [Description]: "If a lizard drinks it, there is a chance it will breathe fire, and a chance it will turn into Godzilla."

A strange Mutation Inducing Agent synthesized in an unknown workshop can unleash some extraordinary factors at the genetic level, generating new Aoneng.

I think its only advantage is its extremely low price.

[Effect]: Induces mutation, awakens Aoneng.

The Malefic Calamity agent in these test tubes, after being filtered several times, turned a dark yellow, halogen color like bromine, and looked very cheap. However, this was the best product that Li Aoz could create, and it fully met the standards for inducing mutagenesis, which could awaken new Aoneng.

That's enough.

Each time an Aoneng is awakened, it inevitably leads to a mutation.

The requirement for advancement to the Beta-rank is to have three perfect mutations, and Li Aoz happens to have four perfect mutation reset options.

"The potion I made has very poor potency and takes two days to take effect. Conservatively speaking, it will take me six days to advance to the Beta-rank."

Without hesitation, Li Aoz injected himself with the first dose of the mutation drug.

I think I can come back to write earlier tomorrow. That's all for today. Let's see if I can write 10,000 words tomorrow.

Speaking of which, the mutation option [Mutant] is not considered a skill. Each mutation will have a direct impact on the body, affecting multiple organs, so it is not subject to the silence restriction.

I see some people don't understand, so let me explain it simply.

You can think of this mutation as the Hextech Core in Teamfight Tactics.

Mutations are not given periodically, but they will definitely be triggered when you awaken your Aoneng.

This mechanism would be quite absurd if applied to real people, since humans cannot control their own choices.

But when it's in the hands of players, isn't this just a roguelike gameplay style? The playability increases dramatically.

Grand's storyline is only a small part; there are many good things to collect in Sky Ring.
